In diesen welken Tagen,
wo Alles bald zu Ende ist,
sturmzerfetzte Sonnenblumen
über dunkle Zäune ragen,
Wolken jagen
und den Boden flammenfarbne
Blätterstürze schlagen:
da müssen wir nun tragen,
was wir uns mußten sagen
[in]1 diesen welken Tagen.
Confirmed with Richard Dehmel, Weib und Welt, Berlin: Verlag von Schuster u. Loeffler, 1896, page 47.

In these wilted days,
when everything is soon at an end,
[when] sunflowers, tattered by storms
loom over dark fences,
clouds race
and the ground is being beaten
by flame-coloured leaf falls:
thus we now must bear
that which we had to say to each other
[in]1 these wilted days.
